\u201cThe machine-gun approach to photography\u2014by which many negatives are made with the hope that one will be good\u2014is fatal to serious results.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Decades ago, master photographer and industry influencer Ansel Adams may have used a special lens to catch a glimpse of the future when he made this statement about film photography. But could he have ever predicted just how far his art would come in the Digital Age? It\u2019s hard to imagine, but I think he nailed it. And would he have embraced today\u2019s high-tech gadgets? Perhaps…<\/p>\n

At the time of Adams\u2019 passing in 1984, digital photography was just emerging and with it, a new era in photographic technology began. Gone were the days of limited frames, deliberate planning to get just the right shot, agonizing wait times for photo development, and the joy of flipping through stacks and stacks of memories on paper.<\/p>\n

Instead, we entered a world driven by convenience, portability, and most importantly, instant gratification (not to say that this is all bad!). As difficult as it may be to believe, the first digital camera hit the market over four decades ago. Now, just a few generations later, our cell phone cameras rarely leave our hands. Photography as we once knew it was forever changed.<\/p>\n

But if Adams were to fast-forward to present day, he would see that things are shifting. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, there is a global movement to slow down the shutter speed (so to speak) and return to the old days and the old ways.<\/p>\n

Film photography is making a comeback, and while some manufacturers stopped producing film years ago, several are back at it. It has become a niche, which only makes this community stronger and more passionate about its art.<\/p>\n

On the forefront of this revival is \u201ca vibrant collective\u201d of 10,000-15,000 photographers\u2014professionals and amateurs alike\u2014who have come together for the love of the art, thanks in large part to a website that came on the scene just 2 \u00bd years ago. Though many members of this group may have grown up \u201cdigital,\u201d the founder of Emulsive.org<\/a> is challenging photographers to leave their comfort zone and once again embrace film photography. To do this, they host a global gift exchange focusing on gifts for film photographers.<\/p>\n

Emulsive: Encouraging Artists to Embrace Film Photography<\/h4>\n

According to Emulsive founder EM\u2014who prefers to be referred to as this anonymous entity so as not to allow others to judge based on name, gender or place of birth\u2014the website started \u201cas an evolution of an idea to share my work and peer input.\u201d The site also serves as a soapbox for photographers, as they can post reviews of equipment and share educational and technical articles.<\/p>\n

As EM put it, \u201cThe project was born from equal parts frustration and love\u2014frustration with the lack of current, reliable examples and reference material for film stocks and film cameras; and love because we really do love the medium.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the Emulsive site describes its mission:<\/p>\n

Emulsive is a space for film photographers of all ages and backgrounds to share their knowledge, experience and thoughts about everything related to film photography.<\/p>\n

We review film stocks and film cameras, publish essays and photo stories; and are the home of the EMULSIVE Interview, a series of interviews with film photographers the world over.<\/p>\n

We also get involved with and help support various film related events such as Holga Week 2016<\/a>, #FP4Party<\/a>, The EMULSIVE Secret Santa<\/a> (now in year three), and Expired Film Day 2016.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou can probably best describe us as reasonable advocates of film.\u201d Although EM will also clarify that film photography is \u201can individual choice and absolutely 100% not suitable for each and every photographic endeavour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exchanging Gifts For Film Photographers<\/h4>\n

This holiday season, Emulsive will once again host the world’s largest annual film photography gift exchange, bringing the global community together in an epic exchange for over 460 participants (and counting), spanning 43 countries. EM admits organizing this large exchange is a true labor of love. There are challenges in taking on the role of Santa with \u201cno sleigh, no cookies, and no milk,\u201d but those are outweighed by the joy of the \u201cknowledge transfer\u201d that takes place within the community.<\/p>\n

Since film is often hard to come by these days, the gifts for film photographers in this Secret Santa exchange range from weird and hard-to-find rolls of film to exhibition prints and maybe a few extra goodies. EM expects presents to be wrapped nicely and encourages participants to \u201cGet Creative!\u201d And with a suggested budget of at least $10, it\u2019s all about encouraging one another and spreading the word in this artistic community.<\/p>\n

And speaking of blowing the budget…EM shared the story of one of the most remarkable and generous gifts perhaps ever exchanged on Elfster.<\/p>\n

In last year\u2019s exchange, one very generous elf gifted participant Amanda Gordon a 1963 Leica (a legendary camera) worth over $1,400! As a grad student in the UK, she realized how lucky she was and was blown away by the generous gift. Her secret elf knew she was just starting out and hoped to encourage her love of photography. Not only that, but he included a pair of snazzy camera-themed socks, as she had also just injured her knee and was a bit out of commission. All that from \u201ca stranger from somewhere on the other side of the world!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bringing Together the Film Community<\/h4>\n

Not only do these gift exchanges bring together the photographers, but it also unites the industry side with the community side. Every year, EM seeks sponsorships from the film industry to provide a few bonus gifts for participants.<\/p>\n

This year, there are 12 sponsors for the gift exchange, who will each provide three goodie bags that will be sent to random participants. Details are kept secret until closer to the draw, but this year\u2019s sponsors are Carmencita Lab, Dubble, Eastman Kodak Company, FILM Ferrania, ILFORD photo, Japan Camera Hunter, Kosmo Foto, Parallax Coop, Silberra Film, Shoot Film Co, Solarcan, and Ultrafine.<\/p>\n

So as EM encourages participants, \u201cGet. In. The. Spirit!\u201d<\/p>\n

I guess this is proof that the film industry is again alive and well, and even gaining momentum, for those looking to slow down and explore life through the camera\u2019s eye<\/p>\n

Would you love to become part of this exciting community? EM would love to have you! Feel free to stop by the website…<\/p>\n

EMULSIVE NEEDS YOU. The driving force behind EMULSIVE is knowledge transfer, specifically engendering more of it in the film photography community. You can help by contributing your thoughts, work and ideas.<\/i><\/p>\n
